Orient Mako

Orient is a lesser known Japanese watch makes brand which has been in the industry for more than half a century. They produce excellent quality watches at a good price. In house movement, yes. History, young compared to swiss counterparts.

The Mako has been launced since 2006, price at around $100. At this time an age you think that $100 would get you no where in the watch market. But this mako has, in house movement, 200m water resistant, Stainless steel case and bracelet and a unique design. Unique in the way it doesn't copy the Rolex Submariner but just gets styling cues from it and pay tribute to it. It comes in various colors, Black, yellow, orange, blue and some limited edition(Thai edition)

The only complains are
a. It doesn't come with a sapphire crystal
b.Hollow end links
c.Hard to turn Bezel

But for $100, very few watches comes close to this at this price point. Maybe some seiko 5's not much else. It can be bought in various watch stores in the Philippines. Also a new variant similar to the mako was launched recently code name Orient Ray or Mako 2.(minor changes). Officially they say accuracy is with in 15-25 seconds per day but my experience(as well as others) have been great, Usually I hear people say their mako is accurate at around +/- 5 seconds per day.(Which is as good as some high end watches)
